Illinois collects data about who gets abortions. But it keeps race and ethnicity hidden. – WBEZ (Chicago)

The state won’t release the figures because they will be abhorrent.

Wrong again, bigot. Some gestators don’t identify as ‘persons’ but instead, as transhumans or some other spiritual identity!!!!

Chicago needs more champions of literacy like Willie Wilson – Wirepoints

It’s rare to see city leaders in Chicago take an open, unabashed stance on the collapse of literacy. To complain is deemed as too political, too racist or too anti-public schools. So it’s refreshing to see Willie Wilson, a successful businessman and leader of the black community, call for a literacy initiative “with the goal of getting 100% of Black students reading at grade level.”
